Never heard of them.

Probably why they went belly up.

I never heard of them. Probably why they are closing. No loss. I do my sport shopping at Dick’s sporting goods. They always are crowded.

Tough times in retailing.

It’s just anecdotal evidence, but at a few malls in my area, there are more than a few vacant storefronts.

I know Obama and his boys tell us unemployment is under 5%, things are great, and all that. But I get the feeling something else is going on.

And I’m not wanting to just bash Obama and his economic policies. There could be other factors, such as more people doing more online shopping, which is causing brick and mortar stores to close.

And I hate to say, but some malls draw a less than respectable clientele, shall we say, which in turn scares off legitimate customers.

Very friendly and knowledgeable employees. They carry everything from team sports to camping, fishing and mountaineering.

They have better prices than most and much better selection than Sports Authority.

They will be missed by many.

In regards to this and Sports Authority...

You have no idea just how big, I mean.. like Home Depot, Lowes and specialty big box big... Dick’s Sporting Goods is truly getting.

I’m not surprised by them burying regional competition. If you’ve been in one of their new stores you know they’re the real deal.

They are mostly SO Cal. Pretty big here in some areas. Its suprising that they are closing without any real warning. Rather sudden

I’m another one that doesn’t shop at Dick’s. I prefer Academy by far. I’ll even go to outrageously priced Gander Mountain, Cabela’s, or Bass Pro before I’ll go to Dick’s.
